Hot take but let the pressure of a water birth go

Hi everyone, welcome back to the pure doula podcast where we chat all things home birth, hot takes, business & more, I’m your host, Kathryn, the pure doula

On this weeks episode, I chat about water births. & letting em go. Releasing the pressure attached to one. How it’s a disservice to yourself in being so attached. Water births seem to be oh so commonly associated with home births. As if to have a home birth, you must have a water birth. & I’m here to tell you, nope. Not at all. In fact, when it comes to water births-who cares? Buckle up because this one may surprise you.

But first, there’s a new tee in the shop. Just head to my website, thepuredoula.com & check it out. I had to make a water birth shirt. It’s amazing & hilarious all in one. It makes a statement & also lets others know where in the US you’re from! Check it out & let me know if you get it & get the joke. Use code podcast to get 15% off your order at ThePureDoula.com
